Welcome to Made for Profit, a podcast where we talk business in the shop and help you monetize as a maker.

Each week we cover business topics to help you grow your full-time business or your side hustle.

We'll also bring you interviews from a variety of people winning in their space to share valuable business insights and life lessons.

I'm Brad Rodriguez, a full-time content creator running Fix This Build That.com.

And my co-host, John Mulecki, runs a full-time furniture company and his content site,

John Mellecki.com.

We've been growing our successful businesses online, and we want to bring you into the conversation

and help you grow along with us.

Welcome to episode 69. We're days away from November, and you know what that means, the holidays.

And for a lot of craftsmen and women out there, that means the selling season. So people are starting to put together their Christmas wish lists, and they're looking for that perfect gift for their loved ones.

Handmade goods are always a big hit. So it's time to gear up for holiday selling. We're going to cover a few basics around production, gauging demand, and how to price your goods for holiday selling, and we're also running a discount on our pricing guide to help you get your pricing on point. So make sure you stay tuned for that.

But before we get into it,

we do want to thank some new members that joined the MFP patron tribe this week.

We had Ursus Woodworking and Nathan Tickinor.

Nathan, I am really sorry about that.

I know I messed that.
